User blog:APackOfSmarties/Why I dislike tables

I dislike tables. Well, not exactly tables, but the overuse of them. You can see it in many of the type pages that show type effectiveness, like this. Type effectiveness does not need a table and all it does is add crowding, more motion of eyes, which leads to eye strain. I'm sorry table lovers. That is an example of an overuse of tables.

To be honest, I like this more. It's clear, you can ignore some parts, and it's easy to glance over things. Some arguments you could make about keeping the tables are, "it's more detailed", or "it's more organized". However, I feel like efficiency at collecting information matters more. I don't really see how it's more organized, but I feel like tables just add unneeded information and provides a very small inconvenience that can bug someone forever...
